FOR MONDAY SHOWDOWN
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CANTON - - People who pick small college basketball dream teams should pay
close attention to the final statistics of Monday night's showdown between Walsh
College (1-5) and Youngstown State University (7-0).
The 8 p.m. matchup in Walsh's Physical Education Center will spotlight the
talents of Little All-American Billy "The Kid" Johnson of YSU, a 5-foot-8 guard, and
Walsh's All-America candidate Herb Bowen, a 6-foot-3 forward.
Both are exciting performers, who are capable of breaking open a tight
game. Opposing coaches Joe Bogdan of Walsh and Dam Roselli of Youngstown are lavish
in their praise of the pair.
"A player like Herb comes along once in a coach's lifetime," Bogdan
explained. "He is a great shooter, a good rebounder and a team leader by example.
When we need a clutch basket, we look to Herb. He can do it all. 11
Bowen tops the Walshmen in scoring, boasting a 26.0 average for six games.
His high game was 36 points (on 18 of 35 field goal attempts) against Ashland. He
also scored 33 points against Heidelberg this season and 30 against Point Park, Pa.
His career high was a 38-point effort last season against Urbana, then
coached by Jerry Walke.
Walke,now coach at Ashland, was very much impressed with Bowen's performance
against 6-foot-6 Ashland star Rob Spivery. "You're fantastic," he told Bowen. "I've
never seen anyone shoot over Spivery the way you did."
